When Kareena Kapoor's character in Omkara states that as per her grandmother, "A way to a man's heart is through his stomach,” and in response, Konkona Sen Sharma's character nonchalantly answers with, "My grandmother was convinced that the route lay further down south,” it made audiences giggle. Due to the relatability, perhaps. Well, as much as that stands to be true, it’s a modern world where women too, arent afraid to talk about pleasures, fantasies and sex anymore -- and hey, why not?

Sexual satisfaction and gratification is important, and indulging in content and products that facilitate this is no crime -- especially in the time of quarantine. In a time like this, when social distancing and staying put indoors is a necessity, our beloved friend ‘Pornhub’, who lives in the incognito tab of our cellphones, has decided to make our momentarily mundane lives a little less miserable by offering unlimited and unrestricted access to it's premium content -- solid gold, some may say! Work from home just got really, really fun, didn’t it?

Help from unexpected quarters

At a time when over 150 countries across the globe are reeling under the burden of having to contain Covid-19, it's not just organisations like the Red Cross and Doctors without Borders that are serving society. The hugely popular game Candy Crush too, rewarded its users with infinite lives for a week. If that was a sweet move by the game developers, Pornhub's blockbuster announcement certainly caught everyone's attention and was the real show stopper! Not only are people going to be busy exploring the myriad twists and turns of the adult film website, they will also perhaps spend more time exploring their own anatomy. More power to the socially distant is all we have to say!

India is stocking up on sex toys and condoms

According to reports, condom retailers (read: pharmacies) have stated that Indian’s are stocking up on more than just facemasks! Condoms are being sold like hot cakes right now, causing sales to go up by 25 to 50 percent. “People now have a lot of time, and they are bored at home,” Harshal Shah, a medical store owner in South Mumbai, told a leading daily. “There has been an increase in the sale of condoms and other birth control products,” said another seller.

Not just that; for those who are in self-isolation and have no one to cosy-up to, sex toys have become the latest go-to! Yep, since the Coronavirus outbreak, the demand for sex toys has shot up, and according to what an online sex toy store told a leading daily, “there’s never been such a surge for these products.” However, since the current lockdown situation, several online stores are finding it hard to keep up with the rising demand, since items like vibrators and fleshlights can’t legally be sold at pharmacies.

In all seriousness, the world is currently dealing with a crisis whose sheer enormity is bound to intimidate us. While we keep our families and neighbourhood safe by staying indoors, it certainly is important to keep our spirits up. And thanks to Pornhub and other sexual paraphernalia, the journey from an anxious “Oh, God!” to a pleasure-filled “Oh-GOD!” is looking like an adventurous one.
